Nine games into the season, it’s clear that the moves have paid off as the Lions rank eighth in the league in sacks with 25.0. Suh, the second overall pick in the draft, leads the way with 6.5, which leads all defensive tackles and is tied for 15th in the league overall.

Given that the play of the interior of the Cowboys’ offensive line has been spotty all season, the Nebraska alum has a chance to dominate today Sunday.

“He looks awfully good,” Dallas interim coach Jason Garrett said. “You talk about him, but you really talk about their entire front. It’s the strength of their defense. They play really, really hard. They are good players and they play with a great motor. Really, the rest of their defense rallies around that group up front, and to a certain extent, their team rallies around that group.

“If you don’t come off the ball as an offensive lineman against this defensive front, you are going to have a long day…They come off the ball and they run to the ball and they finish the plays…They play through the whistle.”
